MExIoo's STERN JUSTICE. Chicago, May g.
A special from Guoymas, Mexico, says: .At
sunrise yesterday the judgment of the court
martial in the cases Of Col. Arvizu, Lieut.
Guiteres and Louis Rencon, was executed.
The trio faced death bravely, all refusing at
first to have their eyes bandaged, but finally
on the appeal of Col. Tarrati, the men allowed
themselves to DO blindfolded. A volley was
then fred on the condemned men, and the ex-
amining surgeon few minutes later pro-
nounced oil three dead. These were the per-
sons who created the trouble on the American
side of the line some weeks ago. They brought
o squad of soldiers to the American side and
attempted to release man from tho local OIL
GERS. The man was not under arrest, but
the officers were taking charge Of him to keep
him out of trouble. The three condemned men
were held in jail at Nogalcs for some time, but
sufficient number of army officers could not
reach there TO try tho case. The men wero
brought here and sufficient number secured,
and tho trial began, resulting as stated.

Suggestions from this part OF Noxubee.
We are having to-day heavy spring
showers, after having ten DAYS fine
weather Tor farm work. Al have
made USE OF the time in putting corn
III the or und; all planted except Wet
land, which is held back for late plant
lng. Never saw n COIN crop planted
IN better conditions: prospects are
Gathering.
Some Of our Mushulayille friends
say they made last wear fifty bushels
OF corr per acre, and they are plant
ing for 100 bushels per acre this year
by doubling.th.e amount of corn on
the ground and doubling the fertilizer.
They are finding out the yalnc Of cot
ton seed. We need no cotton seed
mills.
We had the pleasure Of being com
PEELED to attend The first week in
court. Was very much impressed
with Judge Rogers charge to Tie
grand jury, could but think we had
Ike right man in the rsght place; hope
his charge may be needed in enforcing
our statute laws, especially TINT which
Is TO prevent Illicit cohabitation. The
laws not only ought to DC enforced,
but the finger of scorn ought to be
pointed at the guilty cues.
We can appreciate the interest he
manifested in having good public
roads, but there is no probability of
our having better until we have differ
cnt laws. The present ones are OPP
pressive and no intelligent people will
enforce oppressive and unjust laws.
The present law is one of those old
principles that is dead and ought TO
be buried. Let all classes of citizens
aid in working public roads, and moi
tattpmpt 20 make t%hcsfarniers AMI lu-
borcrs do it and get no pay for il;
they can't live at it here in Il free coun.
trv.
We met al old friend from the nor
thcrn portion OF the county, and after
greeting each other, we asked him
how lis people we've getting along.

ed that II new c%ontagiou, disease had
broken GU among them, and nearly
all were afflicted with it-ercn the
doctors had caught it. lio call"d il

were afflicted and what the sl mptomS
were. He replied, ali wanted beef
milk ana huticr 10 m excess, and the
symptoms were, they would talk about
nothing but COWS, milk and butter.
We then walked to the Cllanccry
Clerks office, where the N0%ubcc Co.

speeches and conversation we heard
there, that the whole crowd had the
